Upscayl is a pretty good free tool for image AI upscaling. I've used it a few times now for articles where all of the available images are too low-resolution, like this 2x upscaling on a 1024x688 Raspberry Pi photo that already had some JPEG compression.

I also tried throwing in some Nintendo 3DS screenshots at 4x upscaling with the digital art setting, it works surprisingly well. A lot of morphed objects and weird edges if you look closely, but the source is a 400x240 JPEG with heavy compression so that's understandable.

@Mobile_dom It's wild how many companies still send out blog posts and press releases that have itty bitty photos

@corbin Based on your sample photos, Upscayl looks pretty amazing. Nifty! Thanks for sharing.
